That flow chart unfortunately leaves out the entire peer review process after the 'communicate results' step.

As if the current peer review process is relevant, what with it being a joke mostly.

How is the 'current' peer review process a joke? How does it differ from the peer review process of any other era?

Edited by dazarobbo: 8/8/2013 11:39:56 AMFor starters, in academia it's inherently competitive rather than inclusive/cooperative, since editors of journals can only select so many to be included in the next edition, which is rather difficult when authors want colleagues in the same field to evaluate their work. This is also the problem I face later this year when I try to have my paper published in [url=http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/RecentIssue.jsp?punumber=4236]one of IEEE's journals[/url].

Oh Dawkins said this? MUST BE TRUE! Oh Degrasse Tyson said this? MUST BE TRUE! etc... Just look at the internet and how you worship every word some famous scientist says without question. And then you turn to some Christian doing the same thing to his Pope and say he's a moron. Most Atheists tend to do this and it pisses me the -blam!- off. [spoiler]Now if you're scientifically literate and can actually understand what the scientists are talking about, GOOD FOR YOU! I just hate it when somebody takes their word for it just like any theist does to their religion and spout "Atheists are smarter than theists hur dur!"[/spoiler]

That has literally nothing to do with peer review.

I know. FREEDUMB OF SPEECH etc... Anywhore, I just felt like saying it mainly cause it came to mind when I read your post. Don't take it to heart.

I can't imagine why it came to your mind when you read my post, not only because I don't blindly accept every word of famous scientists, but also because my post has absolutely nothing to do with this subject.

You can't be serious. I didn't accuse YOU of anything. Do you see YOUR GOD DAMN NAME ANYWHERE IN THERE?! Then let me direct you to the nearest god damn door mother -blam!-er lol. [spoiler][quote] Don't take it to heart.[/quote][/spoiler]

You really aren't making any sense.
